Main Street Postcard: "It was taken after 1913 because it shows the Sand Bar building and Hotel Davis sign. I'm not sure of the south side of the street. Is that the old Francis home, the Elms hotel, ie Brass Anchor? I can't make out the Sorenson building and would expect it to read Tailor on the side until at least 1916." - James T. Faasen
